Abstract (type = abstract)
This thesis investigates the effects of immediate versus delayed feedback following multiple-choice questions on subsequent performance on multiple-choice and recall questions. In three experiments, students in a college psychology lecture course received immediate or delayed feedback following multiple-choice questions on an initial unit exam which was followed up with exam(s) including both multiple-choice and short-answer questions. In the first experiment, the kind of feedback did not affect performance on the same multiple-choice questions when they were repeated on the final. In the second experiment, two subsequent follow-up exams included first a short-answer version of the multiple-choice question and then the same multiple-choice question. Performance on the short-answer questions was better following delayed feedback than following immediate feedback. However, the kind of feedback had no effect on the performance of the repeated multiple-choice questions. Also, the interval between the initial exam and the follow-up exam had no effect on performance. The third experiment examined whether delayed feedback increased confidence more than immediate feedback and whether the increase in confidence mediated the improved performance on subsequent short-answer questions. The delayed feedback had no effect on confidence for the subsequent short-answer and multiple-choice responses. Together, these results demonstrate that delayed feedback improves performance on the short-answer questions by increasing the subsequent generation of the correct response but does not influence recognition of it.
